New blue entry

 Getting a pair of Nike Zoom Streak (any "family member", like LT, 6 or 7) is getting nowadays more and more difficult, as these models are currently discontinued and online shops do not display them anymore in their digital shelves. The only available resources are private runners, who sell them at different prices and at different conditions. I was lucky enough to find a honest vendor on Vinted, who offered his blue Nike Streak 6 for a unbeatable price: 37,45 € (being my first deal with Vinted, I wasn't asked to add any delivery cost). This bargain makes these new blue toys my cheapest purchase of a pair of shoes belonging to a Streak series. Considering that their conditions are excellent (the owner used them only a couple if times on the track field) I can say that I am more than happy: I am satisfied! 

Belated Birthday Run

Since I-don't-remember-when, I have celebrated my birthday with a 10 km, sub 5 min/km run (and not with a multi-layered cake). This year, I probably spent the most problematic birthday of my life, suffering from a relentless fit of reflux, which nagged me for 2 month with no pause. After consulting a specialist and starting a strict diet, I am (more or less) fit again. Of course, at the end of March it was unthinkable to make the run, and later in May I was busy with a training course at the Council of Europe in Strasbourg. Finally, on June the 1st, I summoned all my strengths and completed the (belated) birthday run in 49'10" (average: 4'55" per km). At the end of the performance I was particularly tired and this is a sign that I haven't fully achieved my best shape, but there is ample time to work on that this summer.
